mom tribute painting WIP


since my mom died last week I've been retouching on old memories I had of her but I think time has made them diluted but I have one memory of her that I can never forget. I was five or so and my mother took me and siblings to a Moody Blues concert I was being annoying and would not let my mother enjoy the show so she whips out of her backpack a huge orange glow stick! I remember it lighting her face and I was in awe at its epicness after that she showed me that if you tie a string around it you can make circles and glow lines in the night air but then I let go of it while twirling it and it went over the fence and she wouldn't let me go get it which sucked but I still love her and will never forget her and all she taught me.

self portrait 12



I finally got the motivation and enthusiasm that I lost since I got Add Imageback from San Francisco and I really need to start kicking my own ass if I want to meet my 50 self portraits this year (I wanted 100 but When i get to 50 I'll see how I feel ) I really want to spend the time I need to get these self portraits to my level of completion anyway this one took about 4 or 5 hours in photoshop I'm including the reference photo it was hard without good lighting well at least I learned something about lighting.
